July 1 2014, Stamp duty on units sold increases by $0.40 per $200 dutyable value. To change this formula in c9 you need to goto

• Setup
• Other Setup Tables
• Unit Cost Math
• Highlight and modify stamp duty

The formula previously would be:

roundup({DutyValue},200)/200*if({isNewUnit},5,8)

It now need to be changed to this to add 0.40 for every $200

roundup({DutyValue},200)/200*if({isNewUnit},5.4,8.4)

Be sure to use the test function before saving changes to confirm you got the changes right.

• Includes a new business report called reconciliation. Provides reconciliation of cash takings against other business activity.
• A number of fixes for subtle bugs that introduction of the new report exposed.  Such as:
• Pickup workshop job, pickup on cash then backout to select pay using customer deposit would write activity records in an inconsistent way
• Point of sale complete :disallow entry of freight or other when reserve or layby. Since in these sale types there are no issued tax invoices, collecting funds for these costs makes no sense
• Point of sale complete: disallow a -ve other value to exceed cost of the invoice, so that -ve cannot be used to offset deposit. Deposit must always be received
• Workshop with global or fixed price discount & a payment instrument that incurs a surcharge,  would try to also discount the line item that represents the surcharge.
• Import mcleod images : now uses mcleod website instead of FTP site, think there are many more images on the website
• Stock take : option to apply a miner type query to sheets and stock take entry. So you stocktake by description for example : only stocktake items with the word 'sprocket' in the description
• Point of sale : allow import of stock items based on miner query
• Export dead stock : removed word 'dead' at Honda MPEs request and ensured that full stock list can be exported.
• Point of sale: when you type in a not found part number, c9 will now open find part screen with no filters showing all parts, where previously it would find based on last selected franchise.
• Receive Order : display qtyOnHand, location and type to help better manage inventory during receive process

Requires database changes. You will be forced to log all terminals out during upgrade

• Customers
• View customer main list - show phone numbers
• Print statement include option to intelligently print statement date range to go back to cover older invoices possibly not yet paid consider below,  when printing statement for may system can now also print back to April to itemise the outstanding $50, but if  april statement is printed then the system will only print for April.  C9 now allows you to automatically go back upto <n> additional days for a given statement until point where account balance was last zero. <n> defaults to 90 days.
• April
• Open Balance: 0 Invoice $50
• May
• Open Balance : $50 Invoice $100
• Spares
• Select invoice/Reprint invoice show deposit remaining and order number
• Parts below RRP : option to reprice everything in the list : also allows you to print barcodes for repriced items
• Import price file : option to reprint barcodes for stocked items that have been repriced
• Stock retail price changes are now journalled, reported and require appropriate clerk key permissions
• Extended recently added ability to receive parts for franchise A from supplier B.  Receive screen now allows you to select any franchise/accessory supplier to record as the supplier of the parts overall, even though parts will be processed under originally selected franchise/supplier.  Intended for finer grained control when the receive order is synced to an accounting system.
• Business:
• Include report from no cash inv listing so can get a printable/exportable list of invoices with no cash collected

• Various fixes to cassons image importing

Requires database changes. You will need to log all terminals out during upgrade

• Include support for fixed priced labour options. Select a fixed price labour item and add/modify labour screen is populated accordingly
• Import parts images for Mcleods
• Point of Sale : when you keyin an invalid part open more modern, more flexible/powerful part finder screen instead of older, select franchise first select part process.

• Modified BMW fiche import to import a wider range of units.  Was missing out on importing 13/14 models.
• Still one outstanding task, whether or not we should interleave 'missing' years.
• Added support for Cassons B2B lookup and importing of cassons parts images from their website
• Modified image import to partially implement a basic resume mode
• Modified manage website to make it easier to re-organise location of things by
1. provide a modify button to easily move an item elsewhere
2. render the image associated with the item so can get an immediate visual clue as to what is being organised
• Print Barcodes : option to add multiple parts by a miner type query

• Accounts
• Print statement. Only show current account customers by default. Option to show all if required.  When statements generate system will still may generate statements for customers who are currently not account customers, particularly when printing a historical statement for a customer who once was an account customer.  but generally the account list is fairly static so when allowing operator to select customer, only show current account customers by default to reflect this
• Spares
• Track private notes on spares invoices
• Access weborders from view/reprint invoice
• Config option to disable below RRP test
• Website
• Allow full price file to be listed on website
• Add new filter to only show items which have images etc
• Workshop
• Planner : allow jobs to be completed/picked up etc from this screen
• Modify job : show balance owing after factoring in deposit
• Tally/Invoice workshop jobs to include parts on order.  For parts still on order tally/invoice them anyway so that firstly operator knows likely final cost of the job and so that if a bike is taken away pending parts still on order, then customer has paid for them and is incentivised to bring the bike back
• Allow receiving of ordered parts for finished workshop jobs onto the job since they are now being invoiced. (Previously would put them into stock)

• Fixed some issues with Polaris fiche import.  Was failing in a couple of instances trying to download actual image
• Improved logging on Xero sync.  A couple of customers claiming that sync is invisibly failing though on testing I believe this cannot possibly be the case and users are selecting 'skip' when Xero integration falls back to step through mode.  Added logging to capture this to verify user behaviour is indeed doing this. I also fixed a non-functional issue with requests being sent to xero with XML being sent to Xero :polished it up a bit. Again not an actual problem right now, but might have the potential to be a problem later on.

This version fixes a minor niggle with database upgrades which is especially obvious with version 4.432.  On some upgrades the online backup service would pause because by time upgrade is finished and c9 is running c9 would lock database resources required to roll in online backup on newly constructed database tables.  This tweak sees those processes to prepare new tables for online backup are explicitly run during the upgrade cycle, preventing online backup/messenger from getting locked in a pause state waiting for locks on new tables to be released by exiting normal c9 terminals.

• Added ability to configure fine grained login user access. Control which individual functions a given user can access on a per function basis. To access this goto setup, Other settings - > staff. Click deatiled access control. Example following screen disables access to all workshop reports except the progress report.

• Units
• modify engine number so it can be 30 chars
• Workshop
• Add a new field : status description.  Here you can write things like 'customer pickup on monday'. This will print on completion/progress reports.
• Staff report : includes option to run report against completed or picked up jobs in a period.  In this mode the report offers you a report on tech productivity relative to billed jobs in the reporting period, as opposed to the default mode of showing you tech period across a working period.  In the new mode the report is not able to indicate idle/break time techs have taken, this is only reported in the default reporting mode
• Tidy up printing unit details a bit.  Also print unit purchase date if warranty repair
• Complete job notification : if customer has other jobs still on progress warn user of this and give them the default option to skip notification (because customer might turn up thinking all their jobs are ready)
• Spares
• Import OPEA. Bugfix with importing non standard cost price OPEA files, was not working at all. Hasn't been used for years probably until a supplier recently started shipping an incorrect file
